Free-agent SS Adrian Wilson (Bears) is expected to retire Monday, April 20, and join the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff. The Cardinals, the team Wilson played for from 2001-2012, have announced a press conference.

Chicago Bears FS Adrian Wilson (Achilles') still believes he has the tools to play in the NFL, saying the Bears wouldn't have signed him if he didn't. Wilson said he is studying the Bears' defensive playbook every day.

New England Patriots SS Adrian Wilson said he is not sure if he will be with the Patriots next season but would like to play in 2014. The team would save around $1.2 million in salary cap space if they released Wilson.

New England Patriots SS Tavon Wilson said he has been working with SS Adrian Wilson this offseason in order to learn from the veteran. "He's been a great player in this league for a long time, and I'm glad we brought him over," Wilson. "I can learn a lot from Adrian, all the things he knows. I've been working closely with him so far and trying to soak up everything I can from him."

The Carolina Panthers have a need in the secondary, and free-agent SS Adrian Wilson (Cardinals) might be a fit. He is from North Carolina, and he went to North Carolina State, but he still might be difficult to land since the team is limited against the salary cap and several teams might be interested in his services.

It would not be a surprise if the Arizona Cardinals asked SS Adrian Wilson to take a pay cut or possibly even release him, according to Kent Sommers of the Arizona Republic. Wilson's agent, Eugene Parker, has said he has not talked to the Cardinals about any of his clients.

Arizona Cardinals SS Adrian Wilson is due a roster bonus of $3 million in the second week of March, and his base salary for the 2012 season is $6.5 million. Wilson's cap number this year will be $9.75 million, but the team does not have a replacement on their current roster, so they might have to pay the veteran.
